Stefan Kiessling of Bayer Leverkusen has scored one of the strangest goals in football history - with a header that went THROUGH the net.

Playing against Hoffenheim on Friday night, Kiessling rose to meet a corner with a near-post header

The ball so obviously goes wide of the post that Kiessling holds his head in dismay, but the ball passes through a hole in the side-netting and ends up in the goal.

Referee Felix Brych didn't notice and gave the goal, making it 2-0 to Leverkusen - and Kiessling didn't own up.

And that's not all - the officials earlier ruled a perfectly good Hoffenheim goal for offside, and the home side missed a penalty when the the initial effort was saved and TWO follow-ups hit the woodwork.

The eventual 2-1 victory takes Leverkusen to the top of the Bundlesliga table.
